now thats still too fast ?
it now takes a 25.5/old stly esc to equal the speeds of the origional 4cell/27t?
something sounds fishy
why not do
4cell/27t like it was always a option
21.5/ with first gen esc's / lipo with a 4.2 fdr limit
25.5/ same escs as above/ lipo and no fdr
are these not equal if so they why will this not be allowed?
i have 5 21.5s and 34 vta cars and not buyin a motor and esc for each
not hapening
In the beginning...ALL VTA was 4-cell / 27T
THEN the 21.5 / 2s LiPo "option" was introduced mid-summer 2008. The FANTASY was that there was equivalence with the "old" esc's, but the fact is this was never the case except on (maybe) outdoor tracks with LOOOOOONG straights where the FDR limit came into effect. The REALITY of this spec is that in our testing on a fairly average-sized indoor track a 2s / 21.5 GTB-powered car was right at a second/lap faster than a WELL sorted 4-cell / 27T car.
By the info Rob has provided from their testing it looks like we're dropping about half-way back to that original speed spec.
Nothing "fishy"...just trying to get back to what the class was originally intended before it took what will prove to be a 2 year blind alley that was 2s / 21.5
